With the climate emergency getting ever more evident, it is time to rethink one of the major causes of carbon emissions – Transport. The default method of transport for us is currently petrol or diesel cars, which we know cause pollution and congestion as well as carbon emissions.
For anyone looking for alternatives, here are some ideas
Public Transport
We are lucky to have a Railway Station and links to Bristol, London etc. Railcards are worth considering when weighing up costs of travel.
buses
coaches
Electric Cars
Buying
Leasing – could be an option. One organisation is Go Green http://www.gogreenleasing.co.uk
Car Share – some communities are already putting in place car sharing schemes which provide electric cars to be used for short journeys. Would it work here?
Air Travel
